Kit's description
Caspase family of proteases are the central mediators of apoptosis in mammalian cells. The Caspase-12 Fluorometric Assay Kit provides a simple and convenient means for assaying the activity of caspases that recognize the sequence ATAD. The assay is based on detection of cleavage of substrate ATAD-AFC (AFC: 7-amino-4-trifluoromethyl coumarin). ATAD-AFC emits blue light (max = 400 nm); upon cleavage of the substrate by caspase-12 or related caspases, free AFC emits a yellow-green fluorescence (λmax = 505 nm), which can be quantified using a fluorometer or a fluorecence microtiter plate reader.
Highlights
• Detection method: Fluorescence (Ex/Em 400/505) • Species reactivity: Mammalian • Kit size: Convenient sizes (25, 100 assays) • Applications: Detect early/middle stages of apoptosis; differentiate apoptosis from necrosis.
Kit's benefits
• Simple one-step procedure; takes only 1-2 hours • Fast and convenient • Comparison of the fluorescence of AFC from an apoptotic sample with an uninduced control allows determination of the fold increase in caspase-12 activity.

Description
Human and some mouse caspases are active in apoptosis and cell death and even in necrosis and inflammation. CASP Gene and orthologous enzymes have been identifies successfully in the signal transduction cascade and pathways.
